Iteration for a Third-Order Three-Point BVP with Sign-Changing Green's Function

We are concerned with the following third-order three-point boundary value problem:u‴(t)=f(t,u(t)),t∈[0,1],u′(0)=u(1)=0,u″(η)+αu(0)=0, whereα∈[0,2)andη∈[2/3,1). Although corresponding Green's function is sign-changing, we still obtain the existence of monotone positive solution under some suitable conditions onfby applying iterative method. An example is also included to illustrate the main results obtained.

Existence and Iteration of Monotone Positive Solution of BVP for an Elastic Beam Equation

This paper is concerned with the existence of monotone positive solution of boundary value problem for an elastic beam equation. By applying iterative techniques, we not only obtain the existence of monotone positive solution but also establish iterative scheme for approximating the solution. It is worth mentioning that the iterative scheme starts off with zero function, which is very useful and feasible for computational purpose. An example is also included to illustrate the main results.
